Hi all, I’ve got a 2009 TT 2.0 TDi with a CR170 engine, bought it dirt cheap with a suspected head issue which turned out not to be the case so I’m glad about that. The car boosts very hard, I know it’s stage 1 tuned but it seems to pull harder than my 270HP S3. Next issue down the line is the...

Hi all, I’ve got a 2011 A3 2.0 TDi (140) with the CFFB engine, it recently developed a shake when I put my foot down at low rpms, I’ll drive at 20 in 3rd, put my foot down and the car will shake quite a lot until it reaches 2900 rpm then it drives smoothly again, doesn’t seem to lack in power...

Hi all, I’ve recently found out that people have put TDi gearboxes in their S3s, I was wondering what are the pros and cons of these conversion, and how much work goes into it.

Hi all, I’ve got a 2011 A3 black edition and recently it has developed an issue with lights, was leaving for work last week and turned them on and half of them don’t work, it was really foggy (maybe it has something to do with it but doubt it). Lights that don’t work are as follows: Front Left...

Hi all, I have a 2003 S3 with the BAM engine, recently my chain started ticking so I had it all replaced along with timing belt and water pump. Now there is a ticking noise coming from the left side of the engine where the coolant and screen wash is. It’s the one next to the power steering...

Hi guys, I hope everyone is doing well here, my S3 is pretty much standard apart from coilovers, K&N air cone and 20mm spacers all around. I was wondering what small mods you guys have done to your S3s, they don’t have to be functional, I’m just after some ideas so I’d like to know/see what you...

Hi all, I’ve got a 2003 S3 with a BAM engine. It is completely standard apart from a K&N cone. I am thinking of building it to around 350HP but I would like to know what I would need part wise to achieve that power and run in reliably. I know the rods aren’t going to handle that power but I’m...

Hi all, I own a 2003 S3 with the 225 BAM engine, I have a K&N cone filter which sounds nice when you left off whilst on boost. However I want the car to be a bit louder so exhaust is the next move, I was wondering if getting a back box delete with twin 3” pipes would do the trick. I don’t want...

Hi all, I’ve recently put on a K&N cone filter to replace the old plastic box one, car was driving fine for about a day making some nice noises (no flutter) and yesterday I took my car to work 3 miles around town, pulled up and it was idling rough, shaking at 750-800 or constantly idling...

Hi all, I’ve recently had my clutch changed on my 2003 S3 BAM, been driving it lightly for a week and I noticed that if you change gears quickly the revs go up a bit as you press the clutch and and if you change gear very quickly like I did from 3rd to 4th during a pull it revved highly and...

Hi all, bought an S3 with a dead clutch, the car came with a brand new blueprint clutch and a solid flywheel with it. Is blueprint a decent clutch brand for standard/stage 1 power and also what should an independent garage charge for replacing the clutch

Hi guys, hope you’re all doing well, I have a 2011 A3 2.0 TDi (CR140), I have a couple issues with it, steering wheel constantly squeaks, it should have a flat bottom one but the previous owner took it off and put a normal Sline in, so yeah, any solutions for the squeaking? Another issue is the...
